From his top hat to his leather pants, Slash commands attention both on and off the stage. But when it came to the sale of his Sherman Oaks mansion, the rock star kept things surprisingly low key.

The guitarist of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver last month sold his home in a guard-gated community for $8.7 million in a deal completed off-market. The buyer, according to sources not authorized to comment on the deal, was rapper Big Sean.

The Mediterranean-style home, built in 2005, has seven bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and about 11,000 square feet of living space.

Living spaces, which featured pirate ship-shaped chandeliers and faux alligator wallpaper during Slash’s ownership, include a formal dining room, a dual-island chef’s kitchen and a family room with a wet bar. A lower-level lounge holds a DJ booth, recording studio, screening room and a metal pole for dancing.

A beach volleyball court and a swimming pool and spa highlight the grounds.

Slash, 52, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Guns N’ Roses. He reunited with original bandmates Axl Rose and Duff McKagan last year for a reunion tour.

He bought the house eight years ago for $7.3 million, records show.

Big Sean, whose real name is Sean Michael Anderson, has released four studio albums, including “I Decided” this year. The 29-year-old was a featured artist on Justin Bieber's 2015 album, “Purpose.”

Eastbound and out of the hills

Danny McBride of “Eastbound & Down” and “Vice Principals” fame has sold his home in Hollywood Hills West outside the Multiple Listing Service for $3.5 million.

Now available for lease at $14,995 a month, the gated compound sits on about a third of an acre with a swimming pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen and a detached guesthouse. Lush landscaping and mature trees surround the property for a canyon-cool feel.

The 4,000 square feet of interior space is fully furnished and features 18-foot ceilings, exposed beams and a step-down library/den with a wall of built-ins. The center-island kitchen sits adjacent to a dining area, which flows into the living room.

She’ll accept the perfect offer

Singer-songwriter-actress Ester Dean has put her condominium and recording studio in the Oxford Triangle section of Venice on the market for $1.349 million.

The two-bedroom, one bathroom unit is in a warehouse-style building that caters to a live-work lifestyle. Much of the 2,203-square-foot interior is dedicated to lofted and open-plan space. High ceilings with exposed ductwork, skylights and modern fixtures give the place an contemporary yet industrial vibe.

A galley-style kitchen with a breakfast bar, living room and large common area are among the living spaces. The recording studio/production studio were added by Dean in collaboration with Beverly Hills-based LA Design Build.

A place to try out new tricks

Set on a leafy lot in Laurel Canyon, the 1920s bungalow has a cozy vibe, with walls of built-ins, white-painted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. French doors and picture windows take in hillside and canyon views.

The approximately 1,200 square feet of colorful interiors includes a vaulted-ceiling living room, a den, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A dining nook with built-in bench seating is off the kitchen area.
